i'd take it to the local radiator shop and have them solder it up and leak test it.

I may end up doing that. I did a pressure test in my garage and I cant find a leak yet. Thank you for the reply!

Re: Leaking gl1100 radiator
My 83 Aspencade had a nasty crack in the top tank. Rather than trying to repair a 35 years old tank, I bought a new radiator from ebay seller chr_racing. It set me back $189 (free shipping!), but it was worth it. It's all aluminum with very nice TIG welds. I put in a new thermostat and hoses at the same time.
